It's based on the Meyer's Brigg's personality test. Nutshell is that ISTJ/ESTJ was the past predominant personality types and it's moving to ESFJ/ISFJ types instead.

Which, as an INTJ, means I'm 'obsolete' lol.
I thought this quote in particular was interesting.

INTJ is the cumulative top personality type among veterinary students over 12 years, but fell to the eighth most common type for women and the sixth most common type for men over the last four years of the study.

Might be something to talk about/hit upon at interviews. I doubt it's limited to just LSU.Veterinary schools over the last several years have placed greater focus on business and communication skills because of reported gaps in how well veterinarians are able to communicate with their clients, Johnson and Taboada note, and they question whether changing admission standards aimed at closing that gap are the cause for the shift in the profile of veterinary students.
What Taboada does know is that changes to personality profiles occurred right around the same time admission standards at LSU changed.
"It's hard to say if it caused it, but it definitely coincides," Taboada says. "We started to focus on more non-technical skills like communication."
